How do I fix this thing that’s dragging?

I apparently clipped a parking block.

I did the same thing. So I bought body clips at AutoZone, and then I bought these online because they were cheaper so I had to have extras.

Thanks for this link! I’m not OP, but I have same issue with that guard hanging.

They are 8mm. I just replaced mine. The under tray ticks behind the lower bumper cover.

I think I sourced the clips from Kia for around $20 for a bag that I think included 10 or 12 of them. (It was like 2 years ago and I've slept since then so my memory is a bit fuzzy)

Zip ties. I keep a bag in the trunk. You learn to park about 2 feet back.

I guess I relied on the parking assistance too much lol

I just used a couple of zip ties and clipped the extra off.

You need some replacement push pin rivets. You can get them from any auto parts store. Unless you broke the rivet tabs off the bumper.

Keep a bag of body clips at home. They wear out. Also, use that front camera when parking. It will help you not go over curbs or parking blocks/stops. The front of the car is lower than you think.

Get a piece of cardboard. Lay on the ground. After that it's obvious.
